Experience First.

Your elopement is a chance to slow down, breathe, and be fully present together.

We believe photos should serve the experience, not interrupt it.

The best images come from:

  • Real moments

  • Genuine connection

  • Exploring together

  • Vows that actually feel like you

Our approach is low key and supportive.
Gentle guidance when it helps.
Space when it doesn’t.

No rushing.
No performing.
No forced moments.

Just an intentional day that feels grounded, meaningful, and true to you.
With photos that bring you right back to how it felt.

We had an amazing experience with Forever Wild Vows for our Lake Placid elopement. Having them handle the photography, planning, and officiating made everything so easy and stress-free. They also recommended great vendors, which made planning even easier. Tom was down for whatever locations we threw at him—from our lodge location to last-minute changes— he fully supported our vision the whole way through. He also helped us choose a great spot, kept the day running smoothly, and made everything feel really personal. Tom made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, which made a big difference.The ceremony was meaningful (shout out Joey) and the photos came out incredible. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend to anyone planning an elopement. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Forever Wild Vows made our elopement super easy and special. They walked us through every step of planning the ceremony and picking the location, so the only thing we really had to think about was getting there! Their knowledge of the area also absolutely delivered! We specifically wanted to aim for a frozen waterfall with a piney backdrop. We picked a location, but Tom scoped it out a week or so before the date and realized the waterfall didn't freeze in a way that would be good for photos. So he found a different spot that worked perfectly! The actually process of taking the photos was also so chill. My husband usually hates getting his photo taken, and even didn't mind it :). We can't recommend them enough!

Tom took our fairytale dream elopement and truly turned it into a reality. He communicated with us every step of the way and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. During our special day, he helped us navigate last minute changes with ease and the memories he captured are so much more stunning than we ever thought possible. He continued to stay in contact, updating us with sneak peaks and a slideshow of the photos of our magical day until the full gallery was complete, which surpassed our expectations! If you are considering an elopement vs a big wedding, I highly recommend a special day for you and those closest to you with Forever Wild Vows!

Forever Wild Vows is where to go if you are looking to elope or do a micro wedding like we did. They helped us choose the best and most beautiful place for our wedding. They were very easy to get in touch with and answer any questions that we had. They helped us plan our wedding as stress free as possible and it was just an amazing experience. Our pictures came out beautiful. They are literally the best photos I have ever seen. I wasn’t able to do the mountain top photos like I wanted due to a guest showing up 45 minutes late and to my surprise I wasn’t disappointed, the photos were still breathtaking. I couldn’t imagine my day any better, they truly made it magical. Going with Forever Wild Vows is the easiest decision you can make when planning your wedding. Tom is the best. You won’t regret it, these are memories that will last a lifetime! Mr and Mrs.Brien

I could not have imagined a more picture perfect elopement! Tom was so easy to work with! We are from out of state, so he guided us through the NY wedding certificate process as well as assisted us in picking the perfect spot for the ceremony and photos. Our photos were incredibly beautiful and so was our officiant's (Andrew) ceremony. The idea of a big wedding was very stressful for us, but creating our perfect elopement was so easy and fun because of FWV. So happy to have found y'all and highly recommend!!!

The Forever Wild Vows team was awesome to work with. Tom was helpful in answering all of my questions for months leading up to our elopement and helped us plan the perfect day. Marc Anthony curated a beautiful ceremony for us and even included a Celtic knot tying ceremony to honor my husband’s Irish heritage. Gavin provided us with the most amazing pictures documenting our day from beginning to end. All in all, this experience was a 10/10 and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I would recommend to anyone hoping to create an unforgettable experience that is authentically yours. Thank you Forever Wild Vows team!!!

Forever Wild Vows was incredible to work with for our wedding day! Tom was fantastic at helping us choose our first look and ceremony locations, creating our timeline, and guiding us through the entire planning process. Marc was a wonderful officiant; he was warm, friendly, and customized our ceremony perfectly to fit us. Gavin, our main photographer, made us feel so comfortable, posing us for photos while still letting us enjoy the day and be ourselves. He was able to perfectly capture the joy of the day, and we couldn’t be happier with our finished gallery. We highly recommend hiring Tom and his team for your elopement!

There really aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Tom and his team are. They made the whole experience so special and personal, and truly captured us as a couple. We wanted something intimate and in nature, and from the very start, Tom took the time to understand our vision and guided us through every step. Throughout our engagement and leading up to the wedding, everyone kept saying how calm we were. That was honestly thanks to the team at Forever Wild Vows. They make you feel like family and are always there for you. We feel so blessed and grateful to have had our wedding day captured by Tom and Gavin. Thank you for everything, you made our day unforgettable.

Tom and Marc were absolutely perfect for us! After years of trying to plan our wedding, we finally found the right people. From the very beginning, Tom was super responsive, communicative, and professional. On the day of our elopement, Tom kept us in the loop, brought umbrellas, and even made sure we went at the best times without too much rain. He and Marc were amazing with the kids, and it was beyond perfect! Now, onto the photos. Tom did an amazing job coaching us, making us laugh, and mostly checking in to make sure we were okay and satisfied, and our photos were stunning. I highly recommend them!
